LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1864. Seldom, if ever, has a debate in the House of Commons been so evenly balaneeo between conte':- j u g parties—we say contesting parties advisedly. no t conflicting opinions. Tue supporters of the Government, while endeavouring to stigmatise this gaeation e s a party move on the side of the Oppo sition, era themselves avowedly viewing it as a party question. The speech of Mr. HORSMAN lest evening wa s, perhys, one of the most glaring non• sequiturs ever addressed to the British House of Cothmo us. Throughout his speech—every sentence of which evidenced his recognition of the false position and feeble conduct of the Government—he was followed by Opposition cheers, when, at the conclusion, lee turned completely round upon the obvious deductions from his own arguments, and, amidst unexpected appl awie from the M inisterial benches, declared his intention to support the Government, although they were, by his own snow ing, so evidently in the wrong! Th e cause might be a good cause, but the A, Price w as too much to pay for it. In like manner M r . I , s-OBDEN is prepared to vote with Ministers, N q ue h e differs entirely with their policy and --ounces their proceedings. Pitiabl,,, indeed, is the p os i t i on of the Administration, when even its friends are obliged to admit, in the words of Mr. COBDEN last evening, that " Our present diplomatic system has broken down. Our Foreign-office has lost its credit with foreign countries. You cannot hence- forward approach a foreign country upon any ques tion of foreign policy in which you will not be looked upon with a want of consideration, and even with mistrust." Ana, to make bad worse, this result is so evid en tly the fruit of our own mis shipment "The greet fault we commit in these things;' we quote again from Mr. COBDEN, th' sui;poJ , ef of 'ibe Govv;riai, uivt - tys is that sv &how bucse;veA to btJ betrayed into 6°Lat-thing ta,ndee without duly measuring the poWcr we hrra of carryirg cat nznaces." No.-Kander that these only too truthful wort's were drowned in loud cheers from the Opposition. Alluding to these unhappy and worse than futile threats, Lord STANLEY very happily observed during Monday night's debate t.—" The noble lord threatened us conditionally with a war. I try to hook at the best side of things, and am wilting to believe that he did not mean it. I believe it was not the announcement of a future policy, but the indulgence of an inveterate habit. One can imagine that the noble lord may have been in favour of fighting a time when fighting, however impolitic, would have led to substantial results; but to say that now, after Holstein is gone and Schleswig taken, you will fight for Copenhagen, is very much as though some ally of ours were to•ssy, ' Ireland may be invaded, and we won't help you; Scotland may be invaded, and we won't help you ; England even may be invaded, and we won't help you ; bur let them touch the Isle of Wight, and we will at once rush to your assistance." Equally telling and equally unanswerable was Lord ROBERT CECIL'S ad cross cnmptrison when be said yesterday that after our tfferts during the last nine months had been despised—after we had tailed in every ottemp: to obtain pacification, and to secure the integrity and independence of Denmark—after all this, it was too much that the noble lord should tell us that it Copenhagen were taken, that if the population were slenglitered, end in case the KING were taken pri soner of war, her MAJESTY s Government would be prepared to consider such a contingency." He con tinued—" I do not think that since tho ancient PISTOL swallowed his leek, Baying that he did it in revenge, such an exhibition was ever made before the world." Whatever be the result of the division as regards the numbers voted, one fact is already very apparent from this debate. The conduct of the Government—so admircbly typified by one of COLLINS'S Passions which shall be nameless—the one, we mean, who, so eager to stretch forth his hand, " - its skill to try Amid the chords bewilder( d Then back recoiled, he knew not why, Scared at the sound himself had made," This conduct, so recklessly threatening and so re creantly retreating, is xot approved by the House of Commons ! Even those members who will vote for the Government, as a Government, denounce their principles, as a policy. It is not often in real life that we meet with those strange scenes and striking warnings which make novels famous and impart a vitality to the represen tations of the drama. The current cf events gene rally flaws on more evenly, and is marked wits im pressive warnings, but of a more subdued character. The other evening, however, brought a truth home to the hearts of Ministers which they must have telt, however carefully and cleverly they concealed their conviction from the vulgar geze and prying inEpEse tlon of the crowds without and within the wails tit Parliament. This is not the first time that Ltro PALMERSTON has failed when he appeared under such flattering auspices as the Premier of England. Ouce before he came back from his appeal to the country with the ranks of his supporters swelled by the results of the election that h%el just taken place. But his " hundred m j trity," of famous memory, did sot avail him. He was ignominiously expelled from power. Still, in comp .tison with the present excitement, this effitr of the Ci n-piracy Bill was as nothing. When the eyes of experit aced states men surveyed the scene at Si. Stephen's on Monday they must have fores e en the vast importance of the significant spectacle before thaw. Not since the days of the Reform Bill has such excitement been manifested. Those tvho can remember the vivid demonstration of feeling, and the eager expression of opinions that then took place, must go hick to the memory of that time for a precedent, but those who are not able-to recollect that wormy epoch can imagine no counterpart to the scene, and will, there fore, consider this as an event in their lives. No vote of censure or triumphant majority at the elec• I Lions for their opponents could possibly speak more emphatically to the Gsvernment in condemnation of their po:iey than dtd the appearance of public feeling among all classes on Monday. It was the handwriting on the wall which spoke in a double capacity to them as to the monarch of antiquity. It told of the past, and it presaged of the future, for while it reconciled their errors, it foretold the a approaching doom that those errors had occasioned To make the lesson complete, we must call to mind the circumstances under which the present Ministers took effi.,e. It was pre-eminently by a subterfuge—" a dodge" it has been called, and cor rectly thus defined. Earl RUSSELL then over shadowed his career by his mean and unworthy conduct respecting the Reform Bill, and his sub• scquent course at the Foreign-office has put the seal to the transaction. Dsceit indeed has been the watchword of this Administration from the first when they took office on the plea of bringing in a better Reform Bill than their predecessors. They have deceived the house, their supporters, the country, and the world dc.:ing their tenure of office since 1859. The nest year witnessed the conclusion of the abortive attempts at Barlorm 1 his was the first exemplification at falsity, and then followed by degrees that coarse of foreign policy alike so disgraceful and so disastrous in its effscts and consequences. The English people bear a great deal for the sake of peace and order, but there are times when things go too far for endur ance, and the conduct of our Ministers has now reached that pitch. Seldom has a public man ad dressed a more numerous or brilliant auditory than did Mr. DISRAELI on Monday evening. The right hon. gentleman the Leader of the Opposition occupied a proud position that evening. Ho stood forth as the exponent of the principles and the representative of the spirit of the people of this country. He stood on a vantage ground, which his opponents must have bitterly begrudged to him. The reception he met with from the crowds outside, and the welcome he received front his supporters in the House, were significant witnesses to the truth of the cause in which he was engaged. It is not upon orators, however brilliant, or upon tactic,l, however clever, that the chief' as sistance may be reckoned upon, or from which the chief danger will be apprehended in this under taking. A stronger sentiment urges on the actors in this fitful drama. It is the conviction of the distrust of the people that paralyses the efforts of the Government, and the consciousness of the ap proval of the country that inspires and animates the opposition. It is only putting off the evil day, fo the Ministers to affirm that they are sure and confident of success. A victory gained in defiance of public opinion is a very dangerous triumph, and one that the pages of all history can testify to be a nnwh e or s . The numbers who struggled to obtai n t i ckets of a d m ission, the early hoer of th e i r I i arrival, the eager demand for an impossible entrance, and the patient endur ance of lon g hours of waiting, were all proof's which could not be gain said that Lord PAtodERsToN must be too wise not to see the signs and • se zee, tha to k e ns. Ills career 6 :Il in the politicallong one; many o f Leis worldea u t has be n e mp.en an unusually . craes nave vanished from the mace of strife, while he still fights on with freshness and vigour, but h e t i o know . 1- ,' in 0 '. 5 na lon Jest lifa a nan does pot wilnes s n scene !Ike that of Mon Say more than 0403 cr twiec. It is not' pre bible that hi is unwzre of his ;Lilac:Qs, and the experiences of the other eventful day must have told him of the dangers he will encounter if he persists in running counter to the general tone and expres sion of feeling. He bad bettor take to heart a Sage maxim, which tells him, " Fas est ab hoste doceri," and consider the advice given to him by Lord STANLEY, that if he appeals to the country from the thcision of Parliament, he will not have a very good or t active cry to urge on his supporters and intimidate his opponents. The oobie lord said that the watchword of the foreign policy of the Minis ters would be—" France has been al coated, Ger many insulted, Denmark abandcn-?,d, Poland er couragert to revolt, and deserted." The greatest on tery can hardly attempt to withstand the com bitted effects of such a combination, and it is impos sible for the most adroit or subtle supporter of th 9 Government to do away with the impression that now prevails against them throtoguout the length and breadth Of the land. The colonising spirit of the English has long been one of the distinguiening features of the race. It is many a long day sicce the Mayflower first set sail across the Atlantic, but the vast nation which so haughtily confronts us now owes her existence to the perseverance and the energy of English colonists. East and west, north and south, have Eeglishmen taken root, and in every spot the love of freedom, the power of self-government, and that indomitable enterprise which commands success have grown up with them. We are not famous in ordinary life for accommodaing ourselves readily to new ways, for identifying ourselves toe easily with other nations. To do at Rime as the Romans do is a piece of advice very meat nee led by the sturdy Anglo-Saxon, and like other piteea of much needed advice it is very little heeded. Bat direciy an Englishman forms part of an actual settlement the ease is changed ; he adapts himself readily to his altered circumstances, or rather he bends them to him, and the reward of his happy facility is usually found in a thriving and prosperous commu nity. Eogiish colonies have been singularly fortu nate, some more, some less, but all as a general rule. There is, however, one unhappy exception, which can yet hardly be rightly called an exception, since the drawback is, that the district in question has never-been colonised. It owns English sway and acknowledges English authorities, but further than that, it has no share in the busy hive of working bees. Wey so fine a tract of land should have been so long neglected, why a territo. y three or four times as large .esEngland i self should be practically use!' s 8 to us, except in the interest of a few traders, is one of the incomprehensible anom , thes of cur political system. There have•no doubt been great difficulties In the w.y of dealing with the Hudson's My tt-rriorits, owing to the existence of some of those charters, by which in former da3 s kings made such reckless gifts to favoured su. j The gift of a net of land, esTimated at a million and a halt ,quare miles, was certainly r Hier a rash proceeding even for the days of CHARLES the Second, but the Merry Monarch was possibly it flue!nced in his libe rality by the reflec;ion that the lands in question belonged to his French neighbours. No doubt can be now thrown upon the English rght of tenure, since the territories were fairly made over to this country about a century since. If legal quibbles are to interfere with eoucd legislation, however, it seems that the fact of thus bestowing lend which did not really belong to him might invalidate the c4aim, founded on the king's charter. It must be a very remarkable case which all legal authorities are agreed upon, yet this, says Mr. Miu,s, is the case with regard to the right of the Hudson's Bay Corn• pany to these territories. It is universally held that it is impossible to dispute the validity of a charter which has existed for 200 years, a sound principle, no doubt, in the main, but one which Dads be p.tr.ined wo far. The state of things at presenr existing, and to which Mr. MILLS lest week called tat attention of the house, is nut altogether satis factory. Wide tracts of land, extending from ea nada to the RJcky Mountains, are lying waste, for we may call them waste when they are peopled only by the fur trapper and the Indian. And yet the North American continent has ptovi-d to be speci" ally favourable to the Anglo-Saxon race, its natural gifts are magnificent, the tract of land to which Mr. MILLS more tep.cially referred the othcr night having been declared by competent authorities to comprise some of the most fertile laud in North America. Yia this fine territory is practically shut out from the colonist, for there are no regular means of communication with CAnada, and a barren waste tics between. It would be immensely to the public advantage if a chain of settlements could be extended from Canada to British Columbia; if nigh roads and railway lines penetrated through that vast tract which lies between, and the dwellers in the Red River settlement were no longer an isolated community, but the members of one great and united state, which should add immensely to the power and iefluence of England on the Nortn American continent. Wny, then, should this great opprtuut:y be lost, and the R:cl River eettietneat lett to tail into American hands of under American ii,ftlence ft It, is undoubtedly our work to improve and to cultivate the northern part of North Americs, and it is a twit peculiarly con genial to Eagtiso enterprise and ability. It is use less to expect much help from those Who are inte• rested in preserving the laud as a wilderness, Silver foxes, ermines, martens, and their species do not commonly Latish in the vicinity of thriving settlements, and therefore we must ❑ot be surprised if the members of the Hudson'e Bay Company do not display much alacrity in the matter. It has, indeed, been statel that the principal directors have shown no unwillingness to adapt themselves to the change of the times, but that their agents and officials object very strongly to any innovation, and intend to uphold the superior merits of the fur trade at all hazards. Still it is something that the ques tion should have been brought up again, bud open discussion on the matter will do much good. It ib satisfactory, too, to find that the Government is actually in communication with the Canadian authorities upon the matter, so that there is a rea sonable prospect of a final adjustment of differences. It is of comparatively little moment what are the relative proportions of the responsibilities incurred, provided that all parties agree to carry on the means of communication, and to throw open this magnificent territory to English settlers. Mr. CARDWELL promises that he at least will give no pledge on the qu'estion of the boundaries without the approval of the house, but in truth the question of a few miles of land more or less belonging to Canada or to the Hudson's Bay territory is less to be regarded in the present state of the colony than the general advantage. At any rate, it is time that these minor differences were arranged, and that no personal interests or locil jealousies be further suffered to retard the civilisation and obstruct the development of what might be a noble English colony.

It is reported, unofficially, that General Butler's forces have succeeded in desiroying about three miles of the Petersburg and Ricno , ond P.Ailroad. The James River bas been obstructed by sunken vessels at a point about four and a half miles below Fort Darling by orders of Gen.

Sra,-0a the evening of May 16th I interfered and pro tected a young gentleman, who was being brutally assaulted by the two Highgate Arch-way Toll-gate keepers, Thomas Page and John Felthsrstone. These men were subsequently convicted by Mr. Barker, on May 24th, and fined £5, with the option of 21 days' im • prisonment. I appeared as a witness for the complainant. I wish, through the press, to inform the public that since the above occurrence my toll has been raised from 4d. to 6d. I have driven the above road almost daily for about two years, and, until I offended these two men, whom the worthy magistrate stigmatised as "brutal and cowardly," I was charged, what ail other residents on that line of road paid, viz., 4d. toll; but since nay 16th not only myself, but any branch of my family who has been recognised by them has been charged 6d.

There she will re main for a few days, prior to being removed to Woolwich to receive her iron plates and armament.

Extraordinary Scene, - ---6. - Yesterday a very extraordinary scene took place before the Lords' committee to whom had been re -(erred the Belfast Improvement Bill. In 1855 a suit was instituted by the Attorney-General lot Ireland, at the relation of Mr. J.thn Rea, solicitor, against certain members of the Belfast corporation, for having exceeded their borrowing powers, and the Lord Chancellor declared the defendants re sponsible for the sums overborrowed, amounting altogether to £133,000. Since that time several attempts have beer. made by the corporation and its friends to ob:ain the consent of their opponents, who are all of the Liberal party, to a bill of indemnity, but Mr. Rea and those who act with him have de clared that, inasmuch as the corporation has hitherto been exclusively in the hands of the Tories, who have used their influence to disfranchise their oppo nents, the only terms on which they will consent to an Indemnity Bill are the cJinplete political reor ganization of the Town Council, to be followed, as they confidently assert it will, by the return of Li beral representatives for many et the constituencies in Ulster that now return Couservi , tives. Several bills introduced into Parliament to tt.gsliso the ex cessive expenditure hive been vigorously oppo ed bs the Libenls, and up to this time not kell h-as been 7pent on eitner side in a coote, woicti hls now lasted over nine years. In 1860 to, maters in dispute were submistid to trhittusis.n. die it!ght. Hum the C,:ion!tsi Minister, who was stst- Cniel SAtreriry fur Ir,land, scsug umpire, and t oill was infreoluceo during the pi-es:tut se,ston ant: p-issed tnrongia toe C .:11 7 t1Grns, coaturrtiNg. the award, on condition that a public old should be introduced to prevent if possibia the further disfranchisement of Liberal ratepayors, and to remedy the other grievances compinined of. Trio- pubic bill intro ducA by Sir Hugh Cairns being considered wholly inathciu,ite, no fewer than five petitions were toe sented to tti, , House of Lords agliust the Private Indemnity Biil, and referred to ,t . committee, con sisting of con- L' Grey (otoiirmln), L ar d s N e l eo „, Rivers, Wrortesley, ana .1I lviiie. When the committee met, Mr. BREWSTER, Q C. (of the Irish bar), objected tO the opponents being beard, on the ground that they were parties to and were bound by the award. Mr, Phion, Q.C., Mr. Forsythe, Q.C• and Mr. Austin argued that their e;ients, Mr. John F. K. 1.- 4113013, Dr. Denvir, the Roman Catholic bishop, and others had not signed the deed of sub mission, and that Mr. Rea, who did sign it as re lator in the Chancery suit, had no power to bind them. Mr. APKENNA, who appeared on behalf soF the 40,000 Boman Catholic inhabitants of Belfast, was heard on the same side. Mr. REA claimed to be heard, bat The CliAlltilAN declined, as ho was a party to the submiesion. The room /laving been cleared the committee deliberated, and when the parties were again ad mitted the Chairman said they were of opinion that the arbitrators had heard the case furl, and that they would not hear av y objections to the award. Mr. RCA--I must now respectfu►ly claim my right as relator in the Chancery suit to road my petition, and then if your lordships order me to retire I will do so. I refused L 20,000 in order that I migat appear before the Lords' Cummittee, and you wilt not be doing me justice it you refuse to hear my petition. It is quite impossible for me to exaggerAte the respect I have for the five peers of the resim who compose this c)mmittee, and I con sider it a great privilege to have suffered for tee years to be allowed to address them. Lord GILEY--M r. R e, your petition is before us, and we have looked at it. We think that is quite sufficient. Mr. REA—It must be reed either by the clerk or by mysett. You are bound on your oaths as peers to enter it as recd on the [moil es. Witnerses must also be product:A to prove the deed of submission, for I do not Admit 1. signed it. E4rt GREY—I must insist, on your being silent. Mr. ILEA—And 1 must insist 00 your removing me by force from the room. Earl GREY mult• withdraw. Mr ..itt not withdraw voiuntarily. Earl GRES—We must make you withdraw. Mr ILEA--I am a subj,ct of her Majasty, and a belted earl shall not tyrannize over me. It is an act of tyranny, for which I will bold you ens wer able. I impute no improper motives to you. will only be removed by tome ; but a formal assault will be quite 'sufficient. 1 got myself dragged from the Howe of Commons because I thought the Lords' . Committee would hear me. It is illegal to remove me except by the officers o. the Rouse. I did nut expect that Earl Grey's eon would outrage the lawn cattle Constitution, after his father saving England from a revoln ion; and I hope Earl Nelson, for the sake of the name he buars, will prevent this outrage. The police hes& no more right to remove me than a. Frenchman has to drag him from the deck of an English mon.of war. Two poiicimeo were then brought in and ccugbt hold of Mr Rea, who then • went quietly with them out of the room. The bill then passzd through committee. Mr 'Ai:KENNA said h e hoped their Lordships would make SOlllO suggestiou in their report by which 4,00') men, whose eluEe they had not heard, would be made to ke e p the peace, for be wouln feel bound to tell them that they had been aggrieved and 'were the 'victim of id-olio.. earl HER MAJESTY, WINDSOR CASTLE, July 5_ The Queen, (accompanied by her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, went to London this morning, attended by the Marchioness of Ely, Major- General Seymour, and Colonel the Hon.
